Competition challenges already began to start during the event’s preparations. Location changes added to complications; the contest was to be held in the Olympic Stadium.  Greek music sensation Sakis Rouvas withdrew as well for unknown reasons.
Anastasia then left the competition due to health issues. The pop superstar appeared yesterday night on stage and apologized for not being able to sing.  She can’t sing due to the smoke effects on stage which pose problems on her voice.  Anastsia stated that it was her doctor’s decision; clearly disappointed she left the stage leaving the audience aghast.
Host Pamela Anderson and Head Organizer Eric Serres tried to appease the audence after the presentation of the first 10 contestants.  They assured them that tonight the event will run smoothly and Enrique Iglesias will appear as scheduled.
